LOCAL NOTES.

Our city fathers have painted the lib
erty pole white and green. Why didn't
they paint il red? Because they want
to use that color on the town on June H.
The strike of the carpenters goes on.
Let all assist them by a proper recogn-
ton of the subscription lists that are
presented by the officers of sister unions.
II is claimed that the police board of
this city is somewhat Of IA political ma
chine Why shouldn't il under the
present rotten social and political system?
The strikes in this city still continue,
but it is safe to predict the failure Of the
efforts of our local bosses TO initiate those
Of Chicago in trying to dictate to the
wage-worker how many hours he shall
labor, and what pay he shall receive.
About two hundred men armed with
Misunderstanding knives boldly walked
through the streets OF this city last
Wednesday, None were arrested, nor
did the police department make any at
tempt to prevent their progress, although
fully informed of the invasion. Many
of the knife bearers had blood red teath-
er head dresses.
The Morning News says that Repre-
sentative Hume believes that the story
Of his alleged authorship of dennnca-
ton of Powderly in the WoRKMEN's AID
VoCATE a month or two ago, was given
to the press to injure him politically.
Surely, II man has right to point out
the publicly committed follies of pub,
lie character without being deprived OF
the privilege of voting. And how can q
person be politically injured except 10y
being convicted Of crime?
One of the departments in the cart
ridge shop was thrown into a mild state
of excitement by the announced intrn
ton of the sub-boss to have the photo
graphs Of the operatives taken. A mum
Der of the more respectable girls objected
to this proceeding, and stayed away that
afternoon. This so inCensed the amh
tious boss that he threatened to dsCharg,
them. The next day most Of them re-
turned to work, thinking that they ha,
escaped the ordeal. bat the boss had the
photographer on hand, and the deed was
done. OF course il would he wrong t'
suggest tar and feathers for the boss, h,
one or two of the girls in another de
partment think that he richly deserves
it, while Others blame the s,perintend
ent most, and think he ought to b,
taught IA good lesson that will stick /,
his memory during the few remainin!
years of his existence.

Protection for Rice Planters.

/ The rice planters have cause to rejoice.
! The Department of Agriculture ct Washing
! ton has heard Of the great losses they suffer
annually from the depredations Of the rice
birds and propose to try and rid tine rice
plantations of these pests. The experiment
it proposes to try will prove to be an inter
esting if not an effective one 1t is based
upon the fact that the rice bird is afraid Of
hawks 1t is said that when hawk appears
in the vicinity Of rice bird the bird takes
his departure at once.
Some of the South Carolina planters, no
t:cing that the hawk is a good protector of
rice fields against rice birds, suspended
stuffed hawks in their fields. The plan
worked well for awhile but the depredators
soon discovered the fraud, and they were
no longer alarmed.
The plan of the department is to import
from Europe hawk trainer, and offer him
facilities for training young hawks to kill
rice birds Negotiations have already been
begun with an experienced trainer and it is
expected that he will soon begin his expert
ment. If he accOmplishes what it is be-
Geved he can, the trained hawks will be sent
to the rice fields of South Carolina and
Georgia, and the business of training hawks
wherever the rice fields are robbed by rice
birds will doubtless become an established
one.
In most parts of the country hawks
and owls are killed as a nuisance,
and in not a few States rewards
are offered to encourage the killing
of them. The reason of this is that there
are some species of hawks and owls which
destroy chickens. That this is a mistaken
policy is shown by a statement relative to
hawks and owls in Pennsylvania. The
State enacted in 1885 a law author
izng reward of SOC. apiece
for the destruction of hawks
and owls. In year and half 100, SO of
these birds were. destroyed. As only three
of the fifteen species found in Pennsylvania
feed on poultry, and all feed on field mice
and vernin, it can readily he seen that in
the destruction of these birds the State suf-
fered a great loss. The Department of
Agriculture states that the loss to the farm
ers of the State, at a fair estimate, is not
less than IS S57, 1870 Assuming that the
damage done by each field mouse is two
cents a year ornithologists conclude that
each hawk or owl is worth to the farmer
at least $50 Farmers who look upon
hawks and owls as their natural enemies
should bear these facts in mind

The Doodle Trainn1e an


The robbing OF railway trains by masked
men and the stealing Of fares by dishonest
conductors are things with which the read-
ing public is familiar, but this wholesale
system of robbing freight cars by railroad
employees which has been discovered on the
Pan Handle railroad, is something new. 1t
is surprising tha. the Pan Handle COMPANY
was unable TO discover the thieves sooner.
1t is not known, of course, exactly what
the loss of the company is, but there APP
pears TO be no doubt that it is
several hundred thousand dollars.
Tho stealing begen two or three years ago.
and the thieves became so careless that
lately .hey did not take much trouble to
conceal their criminal work. They stole
about everything that they could put their
hands on, whether they wanted it or not.
and they even went so far as to ruin articles
which they could not carry off from pure
righteousness. A great deal of the stuff
that was stolen was in bonded cars, and the
government detectives exercised their in
genuity TO the utmost for a long time with
ont getting trace that promised to lead to
the detection of the criminals.
In view of the fact that n very large num-
Der of men We're engaged in the criminal
work. and that they were rather careless
about covering up their tracks, the con
clusion is almost irresistible that the detec-
tives were not very shrewd 1t is also rather
remarkable that the thieving was done only
on the Pan Handle road. Employees are con
stantly changing from one road to another.
and it is not easy 20 understand why the
system, which the thieves appear TO have
thought beyond detection, was not intro
duccd on other roads. It speaks well for the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers and
the Brotherhood of Firemen that none of
their members was engaged in the thieving
business The trials Of the arrested men
will be watched with interest. and may be
productive of some interesting incidents.

Wanted 1t for Their Crazy Quilts

From the Indianapolis Sentinel ADrIs.
Gov. Gray was one of the most astonisbed
persons ever seen for few moments yesterday
afternoon Among the sightseers at the new
State capitol building were two nicely dressed
ladies' who, after meeting the Governor and be-
ing shown through with great deal of courte-
sy, stopped before one of the beautiful lambre-
quns- which cost something over $500 and both
modestly requested that they be permitted to
cut Just small, little piece, as they were
both making such lovely crazy quilts" and
they wanted so much to have some Of that love
" material in them. If women could vote the
Governor would surely lose those two when the
occasion presented itself After the ladies' had
somewhat hastily departed he said in converse
ton that it was remarkable what some people
would ask for Only recently he was asked TO
mail some of the ground OF the State House
yard to man in Illinois, who stated in his let
ter that he had little dirt from the grounds of
every state House in the Union except Indiana.
He got the dirt.

The Baltimore and Ohio Mystery.

"
The reported Baltimore and Ohio deal
which attracted so much attention a few
weeks ago, and of which comparatively little
has been heard lately, remains as much a
mystery as ever. There are those who do
not hesitate to say that there never was
| much foundation for most of the reports
! relative to a proposition to sell the road 1t
is now stated that the work of building the
! road TO New York is being pushed forward
rapidly, and that the contract to build a
| bridge across Arthur XIII, on Staten Island
has been given out within the last day or
two. In fact, the preparations for building
the road to New York are being made lust
as if there had been no talk of a deal that
would take the property out of the control
of Mr.. Garrett.
Of course there are still rumors respect
| ing IA change of ownership OF the road, one
of them being that Henry Willard, who
| figured so conspicuously as President of the
| Northern Pacific railroad a couple of wears
ago, and who is supposed to be backed by
| German capitalists with any number of mil
hons OF money, is trying to buy the proper
ty 1t is somewhat remarkable that Mr..
Garrett and those who have been irving to
make q deal with him--assuming, of course
that somebody has been trying-have been
able so long to keep the public in doubt re
speeding their real purposes and the details
of their plans.
Now and then the rumor gets afloat that
Messrs. Ives and Stayner, Mr.. Sully and
Mr.. Gould are still in a position to take the
road, at price agreed upon sometime ago,
whenever they get ready to do So In these
rumors, however, Wall street does not appear
to take much interest In fact, it appears
to have pretty generally lost its interest
altogether in the alleged Baltimore and Ohio
deal

A Canadians Idea of Sunday.

From the Detroit Tribune.
Magistrate Alex. Bartlett of Windsor. besides
being wise Judge and respected citizen, is one
OF the pillars of the Presbyterian church in that
town. Descended directly from the Scotch Gov

New COnVar-.S

Almost every day new converts to the
belief that Mr.. Cleveland will be renomi-
mated and reelected are announced among
those Democratic leaders who few months
ago thought it impossible to find words suf-
ticiently strong to convey their hostility to
him and his administration One Demo
cratic Senator after another of the hostile
faction is falling into line, and if nothing
occurs to bring his administration into dis
credit it is about certain that he will be re
nominated with scarcely any opposition. 1t
is beginning to be found out by Democratic
politicians that the President has a firm hold
| upon the masses, and that their wisest
course is to put themselves in harmony with
the people. Doubtless good many of these
politicians would not like to have their crit
| icisms of the administration which they were
so anxious to have circulated few months
ago, brought to the attention of the public
at this time
The New York World, which has been
rather hostile to the idea OF Mr.. Cleveland's
denomination, now says that his chances for
denomination depend upon the speedy
| adoption of right, affirmative and aggres-
sive policy" 1t isn't exactly clear whether
the Worid thinks the aggressive policy
ought to be adopted by the Democratic
party or Mr.. Cleveland. Mr. Cleveland ap-
pears to be aggressive enough, and his pol
icy with regard TO everything within his iu-
| ris(iiction is certainly affirmative. Was henot
quite aggressive and affirmative with respect
to pension legisationl Has he not given his
view very clearly on the questions of the
tariff and silver coinagei Does the World
want him to have more aggressive policy
with respect to civil service reformg
As far rs bossism is concerned there
hasn't been very much of il in matters in
which he has voice He has done about
all the bossing that has been done IN fact
the party bosses haven't had much authority
since he has been President. The World is
too anxious to find fault to be a lust critic
1t even finds fault with the Democratic
party for not striking more telling blows
against corporate capital. Ii would proba-
bly, be well to wait and see what effect the
interstate commerce law is going to have on
corporate capital before advising other at
tachs ON it.
